' I To all whom it eon earn) :Be it known thate-L OSCAR LJS C ALBOM,

a citizen ofthe-xUnited States, residingat Chicago, in the county ofCoOk rand-State of Illinois, I have invented certain new and j useful Improvements in Die-Makers; Gages,

f. iv-hichthe followingis a specifieat1on.-

."This invention; relates to lmprovements 1 in a die makersiga'ge particularly adapted s transferring angles and obtaining the taper thoughinot necessarily-limited' in its use, for

oi -holes, the inclination'of s11rfa-ces,'. etc., and one ofthe objects'of the invention lsgto provide an: improved device of this ,charaeter embodying a.;freely adjustable narrow 1 blade having a knife edge, and. which; de-

, -v-ice socons'tructed andthe-pblade is so attached thereto as to:=perm1t-' ofa: clear VIS- 1 l; 'which- :cannot "be 'made by the ordinary bevel protractor;

ion on both sides ofthe blade, thereby rendering it possible. to permit of measurements A further" obj ect; is :ato-- provide i "an im- 7 proved vdevice of this characteriembodying 360' degrees.

' To theattaimnentjof endsandtthe raccomplishmehtofo'ther new, and useful I objects as Will -appear, the-invention consists inthe features. offno'velty-infsubst tially the construction,combination:and ar- .rangzem ent of the several .parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown r .Figurel is a view inside-elevat in the. accompanying drawing Y illustrating this invention and in which; i
